all hail the fantabulous summer friday that'll enable me to spruce up the apartment for weekenders! jen and valya are coming in from chicago and san jose, respectively, and this will be the first college roommate reunion since val's wedding two years ago. mari and i haven't finalized crafty local tour guide plans, but i feel reasonably confident that we can forestall muggings and bad hair. as i'm sure you all worry about my hair, more on that: i caught myself looking like a monk in an h&m dressing room mirror last week, so i went at my head with some sewing scissors and ended up with aggressively glam bangs that both our beauty and fashion editors (yay!) have admired. i have no pipe dreams about a salon career, but i do feel thrifty for having avoided professional cuts since the end of last year. this is arguably an accomplishment.

on accomplishments, i finally got off my ass and pitched a story to the senior health editor. won't know if it's a go until she gets feedback from the rest of the team, but in the best of all possible worlds, i could have a byline in the next few months. as usual, i share this so that if it doesn't happen, i can attribute the disappointment to jinxing myself by talking about it. call it web-based existentialism.

dude, you can write comments in response to this stuff? who knew! i don't have anything to say right now, by the way, but this discovery's the money. oh, wait: i enjoy envisioning your new self 'do. now, if you were TRULY bold, you'd hook up a web cam or at least treat your viewers to a nice head shot to back up your written word. i mean, guys ( i now address the other kidchamp readers), lauren could be completely full of crap. please tell me you've considered this. oh right, she volunteered to be a butt cream user for her magazine...sure. back that one up, my friend. show us some ASS! maybe you're not even left handed, or from CA. does joe exist? prove it. do you only dream of owning a 3-legg'd cat? truth is, i think at LEAST 40% or so's legit, but am merely introducing the possiblilty of 100% crap.thanks for your time.
